A new LUMC study has changed our understanding of how cells work. Researchers have discovered that the CFAP20 protein acts as ...
The accuracy of transcription processes varies widely among species, across cell types and within distinct regions of the genome, with profound consequences for health and disease.DNA transcription is ...
Researchers have discovered that in thale cresses histone H3 lysine-9 (H3K9) methylation, conventionally thought to be a mark of turning off gene transcription, can also turn on gene expression via ...
Every living cell transcribes DNA into RNA. This process begins when an enzyme called RNA polymerase (RNAP) clamps onto DNA. Within a few hundred milliseconds, the DNA double helix unwinds to form a ...
When the molecular machinery in our cells gets to work transcribing the genetic information encoded in DNA into messenger RNA (mRNA), it pauses shortly after starting. Known as promoter-proximal ...
